Monument Agency for Wetterau: Save and revitalize historical treasures!
The GREENS in the Wetterau district propose the establishment of a monument agency, inspired by Marburg-Biedenkopf, to promote historical monument protection.
Monument Agency for Wetterau: Save and revitalize historical treasures!
A fresh wind is blowing through the Wetterau district, because the district council group of the GREEN has brought the idea of a monument agency into play. This initiative, similar to the neighboring district of Marburg-Biedenkopf, is intended to help preserve historical buildings and combat vacancies. Dr. Ina Neher, a committed district council member, emphasizes how important such an agency is for regional development.
The model from Marburg-Biedenkopf, where the agency has been operating successfully for more than seven years, shows the potential this idea has. Here, municipalities can report vacant or threatened properties while the agency actively contacts owners and potential investors. Not only are strategies developed, but funding opportunities are also highlighted that are of great importance for the preservation of listed properties. According to Marburg-Biedenkopf, this concept aims to promote the acceptance of historical substance and enable contemporary uses of cultural assets.
Monument agency as a driver of regional development
The GREENS group sees the establishment of a monument agency not only as an opportunity to enrich the region culturally, but also to stimulate investment and revitalize the economic situation in rural areas. The close cooperation with the housing association “Affordable Housing in the Wetteraukreis GmbH” could create synergies that support the monument agency's concerns. This creates an interface that aims to make buildings worth preserving accessible to a wider audience.
The selection of personnel to run this agency plays a crucial role. Dr. Neher emphasizes that committed, knowledgeable and communicative employees are necessary for success. Such a team could not only master the challenges of monument preservation, but also act as a catalyst for sustainable regional development. The voice of the German Foundation for Monument Protection underlines the idea that monument preservation should be perceived as sustainability in practice, even if it is often viewed as problematic in public discussion.
A win-win situation for everyone
The monument agency could therefore create a win-win situation: historical buildings are preserved, the quality of life of citizens increases, and economic impulses can flow into the region. The goal of promoting investment in rural areas can go far beyond pure monument protection work. Because the more people invest in the past, the more stable the future will be - also in the Wetterau district.
In summary, it can be said that the introduction of a monument agency in the Wetterau district is not only an innovative step in terms of monument protection, but also an opportunity to develop the region sustainably and keep it livable. A good hand is definitely required here!
